The LT BOOST’s patent-applied-for gain circuit is designed to push your guitar amp into smooth overdrive and has been refined to ensure the maximum delivery of your dynamics and tone.

This is an extremely flexible pedal and can be used into a clean amp as a volume boost, an additional equalisation stage, or to drive your amplifier into dynamic overdrive.

Also features patent-applied-for clipping circuit, a unique clipping circuit designed and tested to behave just like our successful HT pedals, 9V operation – flexible DC/battery power and a simple control layout.

FEATURES

Patent-applied-for clipping circuit that matches the tone and response of Blackstar's valve pedals

This pedal boosts your signal without changing it, unless you want to change it and tweek the tone controls. I use a boost pedal in my effects loop as the last pedal in the chain to give me a boost during solos so I can cut through the mix. I needed a pedal that kept my sound unchanged and this one does just that. But if want to beef up the solo tone I can. I run two different amp and pedal board rigs depending on the gig size and plan to buy another one. It's a great pedal and you will be very pleased with it.

Got this pedal last week. I was surprised when I opened the battery compartment and found a new battery waiting to be plugged in. I plugged the pedal in set everything at 12 o'clock and instantly realized this pedal is virtually transparent while fattening the tone a bit. I was expecting just a volume boost, and it will boost volume with the level control. But that fattening of tone was sooo sweet. This pedal is an always on pedal for me now. I absolutely am loving this pedal. I put single coil and humbuckers through it with my Fender Hotrod and it worked great with either. Every setting on this pedal is a great tone. From crystal clear cleans to an crunchy overdriven tone. Loving it. I am so happy with this product.

I bought this box a few months ago on the SDOTD. It's been making me smile since. I have one other clean boost, the EHX LB-1, and although a decent pedal, it adds some mid coloration to my sound. When I first received the Blackstar LT Boost, I plugged it in to my 57 Champ clone build with all knobs set at noon on the pedal. At first, I thought maybe it wasn't working when I kicked it on as there was no difference in the sound. Then I began turning the knobs and it started subtly changing the tone. I then realized this pedal boosts OR cuts the frequencies. First pleasant surprise! I own many dirt pedals, most of which are overdrives as I usually prefer a "just pushed" tube tone. I did however purchase a Way Huge Fat Sandwich for heavier distortion when life calls for it. It is a VERY "in your face" edgy distortion, even with the internal trim pots turned down. I tried putting the LT Boost in front of it and it just made it a louder edgy distortion. THEN, I put this pedal after the Fat Sandwich with the gain and bass knobs at about 1 o'clock and the treble about 2 o'clock, and...WOW! It totally smoothed out all the harshness and turned it into a very usable high gain sound -Robin Trower, Pat Travers, Judas Priest, etc. I've also been using a Boss FBM-1 which works great to get that '59 Bassman tone from my little Champ amp. But then kick this pedal in behind it and...bam! Sounds like a cranked Fender Bassman at apartment volumes. Together with my Epi Swingster hollow body, I'm in Brian Setzer heaven! I would definitely buy this pedal at regular price ( or even more ) now that I know how versatile it is. Very simple layout and so many usable tones. The on/off switch is also ultra smooth and quiet. I highly recommend this pedal.

I had been looking for something to give a clean boost in volume without dealing with the big lever type volume pedals.Haven't had this pedal very long but so far it's doing just what I want. Nice clean boost with additional bass/treble if so desired. Great for those lead type fills. Another nice thing is it fits in a Boss type pedal board...though the switch is a little low compared to the Boss pedals. It does have a momentary off/on switch so there is no click when pressing.Run it with a typical 9V AC unit (Ispot)and it works fine. Glad I found it...plus the "stupid deal" of the day helped big time.

Just received this pedal and couldn't stop using it. I am very impressed with the tone. Plugged it in to my old JCM800 and "WOW"...very natural sounding. Adds a very tube-like push. I very quickly dialed in a lot of usable tones. I also found that, in addition to boosting, the three controls (bass, treble, and gain) cut unlike other overdrive or boost pedals. This is a very neat feature. Highly recommend this pedal, especially for old Marshall guys like me.
